Michele Bachmann, who wants to be the next president of the United States worse than Bellatrix LeStrange wanted to kill Harry Potter, has a medical problem. Apparently, if the Daily Callercan be believed, she gets really nasty killer migraines. About once a week, one staffer admitted. Bad enough to go to the hospital, some times.
Or maybe aliens planted a chip in her head...
Of course, I don’t think suffering from migraines is necessarily a disqualifier for the presidency. Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers who Joan of Minneapolis admires so much, had migraines. So did Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Lewis Carroll, Sigmund Freud, Elvis Presley, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and many others.
Also, if you’re going to allow that argument, pretty soon somebody will bring up the old “they all go crazy once a month” argument and then you’ve got women effectively barred from politics. Slippery slope.
However, couple the migraines with the fact that she thinks God speaks to her directly and I find it a little bit disconcerting in somebody who could destroy the world at the push of a button. Thomas Jefferson couldn’t do that. Simpler times.
I think maybe an MRI or whatever they call those fancy brain scans, just to make sure she doesn’t have a tumor that makes her say crazy stuff, or something else. In fact, I think that would be a reasonable thing to ask of any presidential candidate.
Actually, I think that’s a great idea. Also, as medical science advances, doctors will be able to actually see the images that you’re thinking of (I saw it on House once). Someday, we will actually be able to look inside the minds of our prospective leaders and see what they intend to do.
It probably wouldn’t make any difference. Crazy people will continue to vote for crazy people.
